Death’s Door deeply evokes the spirit of some of the most beloved games of all time, and does it well enough that anybody familiar with those legendary games will no doubt recognize and appreciate it.

It doesn’t have to be splashed all over the cover and title screen, or the full extent of the marketing campaign.
BATTLEFIELD 5 XBOX TV
It doesn’t have to be the summation of a game’s (or a movie’s, or a TV show’s) ambition. It’s a heady RPG that respects your time and intelligence, and one of this year’s must-play games.ĭeath’s Door implicitly argues something the entertainment world at large needs to understand: Nostalgia doesn’t have to be shameless or oppressive. Here at Paste Cameron Kunzelman described its “melancholy realism” as part of a trend alongside other story-driven games that are largely hostile to the dominance of capitalism, and it echoes the impossibility of thinking seriously about this medium, this industry, and, well, every aspect of society today without discussing the impersonal economic system that drives it all. It questions what it means to be a person in a system that inherently subjugates personhood to corporations and wealth, and it probably won’t surprise you that the answers it lands on aren’t always the most optimistic or uplifting. It’s a game about work and death where the only levity comes from the relationships we make with others-yes, the friends we made along the way, but not nearly as banal or obvious as that sounds. You can think of Citizen Sleeper as a sort of digital board game set in a sci-fi dystopia beset by end-stage capitalism and all the rampant dehumanization that entails.
Here are a few dozen games that we highly recommend everybody play at least once in their lives, all currently available through a Game Pass subscription. So let Paste help you out and sift for the gold buried within Game Pass. Basically, there’s a ton of games available through Game Pass, so many that it can get a little overwhelming without some guidance. And finally, with Microsoft’s recent acquisition of Bethesda, you can expect franchises like Fallout, Doom, and Dishonored to hang out on Game Pass in perpetuity.
Microsoft also has a deal with Electronic Arts to include EA Play inside Game Pass-so every Game Pass subscription now includes EA’s own subscription service, with dozens of EA classics from the last three console generations. Game Pass already had a deep lineup that features most of Microsoft’s first party games, including the entire Halo and Gear of Wars series, along with a rotating selection of top games from third party publishers and independent developers. Will it work long term? Who knows, but for now it’s a fantastic deal for consumers. Microsoft is banking hard that a subscription service like this is the future of gaming, with the recent acquisition of Zenimax and proposed purchase of Activision Blizzard eyed to keeping the Game Pass content pipeline chugging along.
Game Pass consistently adds great games every month, with recent favorites like Death’s Door, Psychonauts 2, Forza Horizon 5, and It Takes Two arriving on the service over the last year.

Microsoft’s Netflix-style subscription service lets you download hundreds of games for your Xbox or PC for as little as $10 a month, and as long as you subscribe they’ll always be on your dashboard, waiting to be played.
